Truth to be Told
By Ceci
Relena critically eyed her outfit in the mirror. Perfect. Her hair was up in a French twist, unlike her normal hairstyle, and she was wearing a midnight blue, strapless dress. She gave a delighted shiver of excitement. Heero had called just moments ago, saying they needed to talk about their 'relationship'. He should be here any moment now.
The doorbell rang. Relena hurried to open it, careful not to trip in her strappy silver sandals. Heero was standing on the front step, looking sullen as always. Without a word, he pulled her down the driveway and into the rented car.
The whole car ride was a quiet one, neither of them willing to start a conversation. Heero, for his part, remained in his normal state - silent. Relena was too shy and determined not to break the tension (besides, she didn't doubt that Heero installed a self-destruct system in the car).
Heero finally stopped near the edge of a cliff. He got out; so did Relena. Heero began not by talking (since when does he start talking?), but silently handing her three wrapped boxes. Relena happily tore the first one open and promptly squealed.
(NOTE: Anti fans, beware. Make sure you're sitting down, and have a barf bucket near you.)
In it was a new teddy bear, looking adorably back at her. In the second, a beautiful white wedding dress. In the last box, a gold engagement ring.
Relena looked at Heero with hearts in her eyes. "Oh Heero..." She murmured, love strucked.
In reply, Heero pulled out a match and lighted it. Then he pulled out a cylinder shaped object.
"Oh Heero," Relena said lovingly, "You bought a candle too? I never knew you were so roman-" She cutted off as Heero carelessly tossed the match into the pile of presents. The whole thing went up like a bonfire. He then tossed the 'candle' in. The gifts immediately exploded. Relena could only stand stock still, horrified at the scene unfolding before her.
Heero walked up to her. "THAT'S what I think of our relationship." He whispered into her ear. "By the way, that wasn't a candle. It was a dynamite." With that, he walked past her and started to drive away.
A lone tear slid down Relena's pale cheeks. Her heart was broken, lost.
"And one more thing, Relena..." Heero's voice floated through the air.
Relena turned to face him, hopeful.
"STOP CHASING ME!!!" The car then raced down the road, leaving Relena gaping after the disappearing figure.
